    Uni was delicious. Great food, and good pacing of the menu. The waiter was pretty pushy trying to upsell the table and it certainly edged on tacky. In addition, he was rather condescending when we asked for deviations to the kitchens planning, such as extra soy sauce or ginger. That being said, all of the bides were phenomenal. Our highlight of the night was the oysters, which are a must try!

    A wonderful birthday meal. The alla’amatrician was fantastic. the rabbit with grilled polenta, sausage and asparagus was “next level “- flavorful and so tender. We also enjoyed our appetizers. The zero alcohol cocktails, especially the Negroni are delicious. Service is relaxed and incredibly accommodating. There’s no phoniness among the staff, they’re welcoming, interested and just the right amount of attentive. The atmosphere is so comfortable- lively but easy for conversation and enjoying delicious food with good company.

    Great experience and ambiance! Particularly loved the Lumache, Venison, Branzino, and Trout. The Mafaldine was too salty. Cocktails were well-balanced and service was wonderful. Highly recommended to anyone!
